Chapter 825 One must be strong to forge iron! (Seeking monthly votes)
Wu Aiguo wanted to give it a push!
He wanted to see what kind of chain reaction would occur if a considerable number of Water Spirit Pearls appeared in Poyang Lake.
Therefore, when faced with his father-in-law's somewhat blunt question, his answer was also very straightforward: "I am confident that I can obtain more Water Spirit Orbs!"
"Really?"
The father-in-law was overjoyed and asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take?"
"At most a month!"
To avoid trouble, Wu Aiguo naturally wouldn't tell the truth.
"Alright, I'd like to see the actual product in a month!"
The father-in-law eagerly replied, "Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"
He said this with a confident tone.
Wu Aiguo agreed and returned to the area after finishing his meal.
He showed no signs of anything unusual, continuing to do what he normally did without arousing suspicion from others.
When it was time to rest, he would go to the county to meet up with Wu Xiaocao.
At this moment, he had a sophisticated Bagua compass in his hand.
This thing was obtained from the Five Old Peaks Secret Realm.
In fact, the inheritance within the Chunyang Temple in the secret realm is quite complete, and naturally, it also includes methods for finding extraordinary items.
At this moment, Wu Aiguo was using the most common and widespread treasure-hunting technique described in the inheritance.
Pure blood and qi energy surged into the compass, and as he chanted incantations, a shimmering blue light appeared on the compass.
It operates on its own without any prompting from Wu Aiguo.
With his powerful spiritual strength, he was naturally able to clearly perceive the subtle changes in the compass in his hand.
It seems that with pure blood and qi energy as the driving force, and with the incantation to draw in the surrounding spiritual energy, the compass can be used normally.
Then, following the instructions on the compass, Wu Aiguo located the nearest Water Spirit Orb.
Sure enough, as soon as I held the Water Spirit Orb, a warm and soothing aura flowed into my body through my palm.
However, this warm aura had no effect on him.
Place the found Water Spirit Orb into an antique carved wooden box.
The subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy vanished instantly.
When the appointed time arrived, he handed the antique wooden box containing the Water Spirit Orb directly to his father-in-law, who was beaming with excitement.
"Good, good, good, it really is a wonderful treasure!"
The father-in-law stared intently at the Water Spirit Pearl in the antique wooden box, muttering to himself for a long time without coming back to his senses.
Wu Aiguo could understand his father-in-law's feelings at this moment, so he did not make any move to disturb him.
It was quite some time before the father-in-law finally came to his senses.
"No doubt about it, I dare not keep such a good thing to myself for the time being!"
He put it plainly: "Local areas have their own power structures; you should understand that!"
Wu Aiguo nodded to indicate that he understood.
Isn't it just a power struggle between the local governments and the capital?
"Can you still get such a good treasure over there?"
The father-in-law continued, "If you can get your hands on it, it's best not to keep it yourself!"
"How many more can we get?"
Wu Aiguo didn't waste any time or words, and said directly, "In the provincial capital, we must withstand the pressure from Beijing, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation in the future!"
"This matter will definitely not disappoint you!"
The father-in-law spoke frankly, his face beaming with satisfaction.
Wu Aiguo chuckled, not wanting to say much more; he figured he should observe the situation more closely.
By the time of the Spring Festival in 1990, Wu Aiguo had given his father-in-law three Water Spirit Orbs. It's unclear how things were handled in the provincial capital, but not only Leng Jun, who had already left, but also the guys who had been transferred from Beijing were gradually being transferred away from the region.
Without these guys causing trouble, Wu Aiguo naturally felt much more relaxed and at ease.
Surprisingly, Wu Aiguo received a letter from Zilong during the Spring Festival.
The content was simple. He first talked about his life, naturally only reporting good news and not bad, saying that he was doing very well.
Then he inquired about the situation of Wu Ziqiang and his two friends, and subtly warned them to be careful if they went abroad.
At the end of the letter, he also said that if he could find the time, he would come back to visit everyone.
After reading the letter, Wu Aiguo's first reaction was that the situation was not good.
Damn it, Zilong, who has been missing for several years, suddenly wrote such a letter. It can't just be a simple reminiscing.
His relationship with Wu Aiguo was actually quite ordinary.
If you're going to write a letter, you should write to Wu Ziqiang and the other two; they are the closest childhood friends.
But ironically, Zi Long's letter was addressed to Wu Aiguo.
What does that mean?
In Wu Aiguo's view, the key point was the content of the letter's admonition.
It seems like he's reminding his three childhood friends to be careful about their personal safety if they travel abroad.
Wu Aiguo interpreted it as meaning that extraordinary experts from outside the country had already set their sights on their domestic counterparts.
Otherwise, where would so many dangerous situations come from during normal study or travel abroad?
Wu Aiguo immediately called Ye Fan, who was in Hong Kong.
"Ye Fan, what's the situation in Hong Kong? Have they encountered any attacks from supernatural forces?"
He didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
"Hmm, Secretary, if you hadn't asked, I really wouldn't have realized it!"
Ye Fan was taken aback at first, then said in a deep voice, "Recently, there seems to be more conflict among Hong Kong's triads!"
"Has this never happened before?"
"No, in the past, even if there were conflicts between clubs, they were always resolved through negotiation and martial arts competitions!"
"Did you encounter any dangerous situations?"
Wu Aiguo asked curiously, "If we encounter such a situation, we must be extremely careful. If all else fails, returning to China would be safer!"
"Secretary, what do you mean?"
Ye Fan wasn't stupid; he quickly realized, "A supernatural-level force has reached out to us?"
"more or less!"
Wu Aiguo put it bluntly: "They don't dare to provoke the mainland yet, but the situation in Hong Kong is different!"
"If something were to happen to one of Hong Kong Island's top martial arts experts, it would be very difficult to stop the invasion of extraordinary experts!"
"That shouldn't happen. Hong Kong Island has faced attacks from foreign forces before, and they always managed to get through smoothly!"
"This time, the situation is different. If you encounter danger, your personal safety must be your top priority!"
"I understand, thanks for reminding me!"
Wu Aiguo had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
You have to be strong yourself to forge iron!
Otherwise, thinking too much is useless.
Currently, there are indeed many external forces that want to target the domestic situation.
They just acted very discreetly; otherwise, their tracks would have been leaked long ago.
I wonder if any have infiltrated, or if they have secretly infiltrated certain areas for the sake of some so-called secret realm?
He called his father-in-law to tell him about his worries.
After pondering for a moment, his father-in-law finally told him some news.
